You do want to be careful about your gear, so that your base weight
(without food and water) is as low as you can get safely.I think that
low teens is quite doable. There are people who get below 10, but I
never have.

Figuring 2lbs a day for food for a 5 day stretch, and a couple of
liters of water, you won't often leave town after resupply with more
than 30lbs.
